Joseph Reassures His Brothers

15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, ^athey said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may¹ actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.”

16 So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying,

17 ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; ^afor they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of ^bthe God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

18 Then his brothers also went and ^afell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

19 Joseph said to them, ^a“Do not be afraid, ^bfor am I in the place of God?
